Sujoy Ghosh: Ten BEST Kahaanis in Hindi cinema

Sujoy Ghosh: Ten BEST Kahaanis

One of the biggest successes of last year was Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani, a fantastically crafted thriller which told the story of a heroine (played by Vidya Balan) navigating through the murkiest, most shadowy bits of Kolkata -- a city that refused to pronounce her name right.

Ghosh, who got his story spot on, tells Raja Sen about the 10 Hindi film plots he absolutely loves.

My basic yardstick for how much I like a movie is how engrossed I am in the film.

The film kept me engrossed and kept me thinking. And I thought Khamosh being (set) within a film set was a unique way of presenting a detective story. And the tricks being employed to evade the police, in order to get away from the cops, to confuse them. That was pretty cool.

One of my life's ambitions became to get a dog to chase me so I could run an '8' around trees and confuse it.
